PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       towlower - transliterate uppercase wide-character code to lowercase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towlower(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The towlower() function has as a domain a type wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a character  representable  as  a
       wchar_t,  and  a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or the value of WEOF. If the argument has any
       other value, the behavior is undefined. If the argument of towlower() represents an uppercase wide-character code, and there exists a  cor-
       responding  lowercase  wide-character  code (as defined by character type information in the program locale category LC_CTYPE ), the result
       shall be the corresponding lowercase wide-character code.  All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, towlower() shall return the lowercase letter corresponding to the argument passed; otherwise, it  shall  return
       the argument unchanged.
